Numbers 11:1–9
11 Now the people complainedu about their hardships in the hearing of the Lord,v and when he heard them his anger was aroused.w Then fire from the Lord burned among themx and consumedy some of the outskirts of the camp. 2 When the people cried out to Moses, he prayedz to the Lorda and the fire died down. 3 So that place was called Taberah,a b because fire from the Lord had burned among them.c
4 The rabble with them began to crave other food,d and again the Israelites started wailinge and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.f 6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!g”
7 The manna was like coriander seedh and looked like resin.i 8 The people went around gathering it,j and then ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into loaves. And it tasted like something made with olive oil. 9 When the dewk settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down.
